The Stone Centre Patient Advisory Group will further our efforts bridging the knowledge gap between physician care and patient priorities, while improving future research strives.
Advisory group mandate:
- To help guide the Stone Centre at VGH towards what patients would like to know more about in kidney stone treatment, prevention, and research.
- To help guide the Stone Centre personnel with obtaining funding from government agencies.
Group structure:
The advisory group meets once a month for a 1-1.5 hour long session, starting in early fall 2015. These sessions will involve respectful and inclusive group discussions centered on improving prognosis and prevention of kidney stone disease. The group discussions are entirely confidential. Light refreshments and snacks will be provided during group meetings. Parking compensation will also be provided, as applicable.
